Cryptocephalus Geoffroy, 1762 is recognized for its cosmopolitan distribution and great richness, with at least 1700 described species. However, information is lacking for Brazil: (1) no record of immatures; and (2) almost nothing about the biology of this genus. Here, immature stages of Cryptocephalus from Brazil are reported for the first time, as well as some notes of its bioecology on the host plant. Records in Brazilian territory are also compiled from the literature.
